Chapter 1973: Man Proposes, God Disposes

Phil, who had been struck blows by a heartless nephew and a heartless old friend, calmed down.

It wasn’t that he was afraid, but that he once again recognized New SHIELD’s position.

In gaming terms, the Avengers and the Bat Squad were all hero units, while New SHIELD was a small barrack.

It wasn’t hard for dozens of soldiers who had leveled up to take on a lone hero who had yet to level up.

But in the face of dozens of rookie heroes, even hundreds of soldiers wouldn’t be able to take them down.

!!

The agents’ biggest use was still as support.

Whether it was gathering intelligence and making preparations beforehand, providing firepower support in battle, helping clean up the mess later, or even tracking down the enemy for the final blow, all of these were necessary operations.

Of course, Phil wouldn’t feel dejected because of this.

Luke had put in a lot of effort to prevent his uncle from dying for no reason.

If he had an excuse, he would give him some equipment, and if he didn’t have an excuse, he would make one up.

After a few years, Phil had a full set of equipment and the basic Kunlun Chi Refining Technique. He was definitely a hero who had leveled up several times.

It was just that Knight and Big Dipper mocked him as a weakling many times in private. In any case, Phil didn’t have the confidence to say stupid things like “I’m super brave.”

Not only had Batman lectured a certain tycoon back then, the latter was even made to do ‘leg splits.’ From this, one could see how generous Luke was when it came to Phil.

So, after saying that New SHIELD would send whatever intelligence it had to the Avengers and the Bat Squad, Phil decisively left.

Once Tony and Knight started bickering, the people around them would always get caught up in it.

Phil didn’t want the tycoon to think about ‘Lanie.’ This involved a certain person’s dark history of going to a bar to dance in women’s clothes and almost being locked up by another man.

After he left, Tony and Luke’s expressions eased.

Werner was actually very troublesome. The two of them weren’t as relaxed as they appeared in front of Phil.

However, they represented the two strongest superhero forces, and had to be cautious with the outside world.

New SHIELD wouldn’t be able to handle the pressure.

So, they only shared some information and told Phil to be more vigilant so that he didn’t run into Werner.

Tony picked up the bottle and topped up their glasses with wine again. “There hasn’t been much progress on the detectors for the parasites and Inhumans.”

He was a little depressed when he said that.

In the past, he would be hit with inspiration and would be able to solve a problem, but this time, it didn’t happen.

This was too different from his main research focus, and he had to develop a full detection system from scratch.

This really wasn’t something that could be resolved with a flash of inspiration — it would take at least 100 flashes.

Luke took a sip of the wine he had just poured. “Man proposes, God disposes.”

He spoke in Chinese.

Tony asked, “What does that mean?”

Luke said, “We’ll do our share. The rest is up to God.”

Tony snorted. “I remember you saying that you believe in Buddhism, which is why you don’t kill people. Isn’t it too late to hope for God’s blessing?”

Luke downed his wine and then put the glass down. “What I’m saying is that you should pray that God doesn’t bless Werner. After all, he’s not even human.”

Tony was lost for words – he couldn’t argue with that.

…

What the tycoon didn’t know was that while the Level 2 clone was drinking with him, the Level 1 clone in Europe had found something.

“Little pudding, Gideon is here.” Dr. Haley jumped excitedly on him from where she was sitting on the couch.

Because she would try all sorts of tricks when she was leaning on him, the Joker had recently been staying two meters away from her.

Luke opened his eyes and looked at the tablet which Haley handed to him.

On it, Gideon was hugging his daughter, Stephanie, in front of a building.

Luke glanced at it. “Do you notice any problems?”

Haley didn’t think much of it. “Guerra isn’t there. He’s Gideon’s personal bodyguard. He practically never leaves his big boss.”

At that point, she exclaimed, “Isn’t this a good opportunity for us?”

Luke waved his hand and smiled. “Don’t be hasty. The most important thing for a person is to be happy, but patience is indispensable before the start of a game. Otherwise, you’ll be much less happy.”

Haley stuck to him and brushed her lips over his ear. “Can you let me play with that Werner?”

Pa!

Luke smacked her. “How can you play with an alien you know nothing about? It’s more like it’ll be playing with you.”

Haley gave a light cry. Feeling the burning pain, she went limp. “Gideon and Stephanie should be very useful to it. We…”

Pa!

Luke interrupted her wishful thinking. “Should? I don’t believe that it’s hard for an alien to abandon two Earthlings.”

Looking at the female doctor who was in pain, he rubbed her. “Did the psychology you studied ever say that aliens and Earthlings are the same?”

The female doctor snorted and replied in a low voice, “No.”

Luke rubbed harder. “So, you’re not qualified to play with it until you find its weakness.”

The female doctor rolled her eyes. “Lit~ tle~ pud~ ding~”

Pa!

Luke couldn’t help but interrupt the call that gave him goosebumps.

The female doctor trembled in pain. After a long while, she said, “You’ve only been talking about me, so you definitely have a way to catch it. Can you tell me?”

Luke said, “It’s a secret. Can you guarantee you won’t tell anyone else?”

The female doctor’s eyes lit up. “I can.”

Luke nodded appreciatively. “So can I.”

The female doctor waited for a moment, but didn’t hear him continue. She suddenly realized that this d*mn guy was playing with her.

When she realized this, she couldn’t wait to get up and bite him.

But the burning pain in her rear made her feel weak. Forget it, she should take a break first. What if she was despised again if her skin was affected by her staying up late?

After all, the game was only for a moment, but beauty was for a lifetime.

…

Two hours later, Haley put on a red and blue swimsuit and jumped into the swimming pool in the backyard.

Agony was still staying with the husky for the time being, and couldn’t regulate her hormones.

Of course, she didn’t want them adjusted at all, since it would make her lose all joy.

The fire in her heart gradually calmed down, and she finally immersed herself in her night swim.

After swimming more than ten laps, Haley finally stopped and came out.

Then, she felt that something wasn’t right.

She suddenly turned around, only to see a black-and-white figure looking down at her from the side of the pool.

Alarmed, Haley asked in fear, “Who… who are you?”
